I wanted to post a note to let everyone know about the Officiating.com Relief Fund. We have received an outpouring of support from sports officials around the world. As we already knew -- sports officials in general are very generous and giving people.

We are collecting funds to donate to the American Red Cross as a gift from sports officials around the world. Officiating.com is also donating 10% of all membership proceeds for the month of September.

If you would like to participate, please go to the Officiating.com Home Page for more information. There is also a link to a real-time donations total -- at this point it is over $700 -- in only two days! There is no doubt that over today and the weekend we can push this number well up into the thousands!

We have also received many messages of support from officials around the world. We will be posting these later on as well. If you would like to submit a note, please send it to [email protected]
